Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the transformative power of opera through the lens of Gluckâs revolutionary work, Orpheus. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century operaâs grandeur, the author explores Gluckâs radical reforms, which sought to restore emotional truth to the art form. By stripping away elaborate spectacle and prioritizing the interplay of music, poetry, and dance, Gluck aimed to create an immersive experience that elicited genuine human emotions. The book delves into the historical context, thematic depth, and enduring legacy of Orpheus, shedding light on the ways in which Gluckâs innovations influenced the trajectory of opera and continue to resonate with audiences today.
